Chapter ten: The ending to the beginning
'I never thought I would be here today with so many people I love.' Sarah wrote in a book that she begun writing for the library. 'When I was younger I thought this world was just a dream, but now it's my life. I came back with Jareth and had a big transformation. When Toby saw me he dropped the fork he was holding to his mouth. It was funny to see his face. I'm the only one that remembers my family from the Aboveground. Toby's memory was eared and replaced with him thinking he was my son, which sometimes it felt that way. Angelique is now the Queen of Eos. Arc has taken an interest in him. I met Arc when he, Renne and Ren came back. Apparently Arc is their cousin. So Angelique and he spend a lot of time together. Asurin and Dasani now live in a area called Jou, it's an almost abandoned place but they like it because of its scenery. My mother is still in the Between. I go with Jareth to visit her sometimes. When we go my father is usually there. The 'uppers' allowed him to spend his time with her, so they have a splendid time passing people to the other side. As for Karen she was reunited with her mother in Heaven. Dad told me when I visited for the first time. As for me and Jareth, our story is still in progress. We have a long time to live, and he wants lots of kids. Speaking of kids,'
"Mommy!" a little girl cried running towards Sarah.
Sarah looked up to see her family coming towards her. She set the book down on the grass that she was sitting on. Over the past five years Jareth had gotten her pregnant twice. Her daughter, Aelita, is now five. Sarah didn't know where Aelita got her looks from but she defiantly had Jareth's personality. She had vibrant red curly hair. Sarah had to put a head band on her every morning so she could see. Her eyes were a very bright green and she had pale skin like a porcelain doll. For some reason, Sarah nor Jareth didn't know why, Aelita had a scar on her stomach just like Sarah, where Jareth stabbed her.
Their son, Ryuu, is now three. He was named Ryuu because of his dragon colored eyes. Unlike his sisters, he had gold eyes with green streaks. He had brown hair with natural blonde high lights. He had skin like Jareth so he looked darker when standing next to Aelita.
Sarah looked at her brother. Toby had grown up good. He was now eight, turning nine soon. He spent most of his time outside playing with Aelita. He loved her and was drawn to her by her hair. Whenever Sarah would see him, he would be with Aelita. She liked to think of her brother as her daughters' protector.
Aelita got to Sarah and threw her arms around her neck. "Mommy, Toby caught a frog!" she squealed.
Sarah giggled, "Did you kiss it to see if it will turn into a prince?"
Aelita gasped, "So that's how you got daddy to be a prince?"
"I for one was never a frog." Jareth said sitting next to Sarah. "I have always been a prince. Your mother just took forever to realize it."
Sarah scoffed, "Well excuse me your majesty, do you want to be sleeping in the den again tonight?"
"Ohh, you did it now daddy. When mommy has 'the look' you know you're in trouble." Aelita said pointing to her face and mimicking Sarah.
Jareth and Sarah laughed. "You defiantly know who she takes after." Jareth said while the kids ran around, well besides Ryuu. He was comfortable in Sarah's lap.
"Yeah, that's for sure. So did you send out the invitations?" Sarah asked leaning back some.
"Yeah, Angelique did a god job with the preparation to."
"That's true, she's been working non stop since we decided to do this. You think it is the right decision right?" Sarah asked looking at Jareth. Ryuu got up and went to play piggy back with Toby and Aelita.
Jareth looked at Sarah, "You're the one who wants to do this."
"Because they are meant for each other, and so are our kids." Sarah said bringing her knees up.
"You mean how Aelita and Toby are meant for each other." Jareth said looking at the children.
"Well yeah, they aren't actually related. I mean he's my half brother so he's only related to her by like 25%."
"Sarah, when the time comes for them we will do this ceremony again," Jareth said looking at her.
"But-"
"I wasn't finished."
"Sorry." Sarah laid her head on her knees.
"If that is what they want. We will not force it on them."
"Of course, Jareth; well I guess we should get ready for the ceremony. It's in a few hours and the kids are already dirty." Sarah said picking up her book.
"You take care of Aelita and I'll take care of the boys." Jareth said standing and helping her up.
"Alright, Aelita come on, we have to go get ready." Sarah called and held out her hand for Aelita. Aelita smiled and ran towards her mother.
Sarah took Aelita to her bedroom and went through her closet.
"Mommy, what's going on tonight? Toby says it's a ceremony that he and I are going to go through when we get older." Aelita said sitting in a chair.
Sarah pulled out a white dress and looked at her daughter. "Toby said that?"
"Yeah, he said that we are going to do this ceremony together once we are older."
"Well honey the best way I can describe it is wait till the ceremony to see. I'm sure you won't understand it right now, so when you get older you'll have to think about it."
Aelita nodded and followed her mother to a bathroom where she got undressed. Sarah helped Aelita shower. She washed her hair, while Aelita washed her body. They then switched positions. Sarah bathed her body and Aelita washed her hair. When they were done they dried off and walked into Sarah's room to get changed.

Jareth helped Ryuu bath and dressed him in a little tuxedo. Toby got ready himself and had Jareth do his tie. "Jareth, how do you feel about Aelita and me going through this ceremony when we get older?"
Jareth looked at Toby, "Are you serious? She's your sister."
"And you and Sarah are my parent but I don't call you mom or dad. I feel like you guys aren't my real family, like Sarah should be my sister." Toby said looking down.
"Why do you feel that way?"
Toby looked at Jareth, "I've had dreams about me and Sarah being siblings and how she was sent to an institution and my real parents didn't know what to do with her. I also feel like part of my life is missing. I have memories of growing up here but I also have memories of growing up in the Aboveground."
"I see, well then maybe you should talk to Sarah about it." Jareth said and picked up Ryuu.
"Why?" Toby asked following him.
"You think she's your sister, therefore you ask her." Jareth, Toby and Ryuu waited outside the bedroom where Sarah and Aelita were. "They take forever."
"I heard that!" Sarah yelled from inside. Jareth sighed.
A minute later Sarah and Aelita walked out. Sarah was wearing a silver dress and Aelita was wearing a white dress. Sarah's dress went to the floor and was silk. It was a halter top and had pearls going around her waist. Her hair was put into a half ponytail and was behind her shoulders. She didn't wear makeup because she didn't need any. Her silver 'J' and miss matched eyes were enough to stop people and stare. Aelita's dress was a long sleeved, silk dress. It went to her knees and the cuffs of the sleeves were belled. Her hair was straightened and fell to her but, and she had some lip gloss on.
Jareth's and Toby's mouth were open. The girls were really pretty. Toby walked to Aelita and offered his arm. She wrapped her arm around it and smiled. Jareth looked at the two then at his wife. He grabbed her hand and led her to the ball room, with Toby and Aelita behind them.
They got to the ball room and the doors opened when they walked in they were announced. Everyone stood and looked to the back.
Sarah smiled, "I feel like we are at our wedding." She whispered to Jareth.
"I know what you mean, dear." Jareth said and held his arm up. Sarah placed her hand on his and they walked down the aisle. They turned to the left and stood in front of the king and queen chairs. Toby and Aelita were announced and Toby did what Jareth did and led Aelita down the aisle and to their seats that were to the right.
When the guest sat down Jareth stood and handed Ryuu to Sarah. He walked to the center of the room, "Ladies and gentleman of all creatures we are gathered here today to break all ties between two siblings. If you will join me, King of the Goblins, King Jareth, in standing for the said siblings." Jareth nodded towards the guard at the front door. The crowd stood as the door opened. There stood Ren and Renne both in black. They both had a veil over their head. They started walking down the aisle. Behind them Arc walked with a pillow in his hands. When they got to Jareth, Ren and Renne kneeled in front of him and Arc kneeled in the middle behind them. Jareth motioned for the guest to sit. "Today you Ren Blake and Renne Blake are going to be breaking your ties as siblings. Are you ready?"
The two siblings nodded. "Arc, the pendants." Arc stood and walked to Jareth and held out the pillow. Jareth picked up both pendants. "Ladies and gentlemen, you as the witnesses, I am now going to destroy their ties. After this breaking they will be able to marry and have children. If anyone objects speak now or forever hold your piece." Jareth paused for a while. "Since no one objects I will now break these siblings' ties." Jareth turned around and walked behind a table that had a bowl sitting on it. "This is holy water that was made just for this ceremony." Jareth said. He looked at Ren and Renne, "This might hurt, I really don't know because this is my first time seeing this ceremony."
The two nodded, Jareth then dropped the pendants into the water. The water swirled into a little spin pool. It flew out of the bowl and over above Ren and Renne. You could see little red streams going from the twins to the spin pool. The water turned red and then blue. Blue streams rushed into Ren. She whimpered a bit. The remaining water went into the pendants. The pendant turned into two circles with red gems in the center. The pendant were placed around the twins necks and their black clothes were dissolved and replaced with white clothing. Ren was in a wedding dress and Renne was in a white tuxedo.
Jareth walked back in front of them. "Stand." They did as he said. "Ren you are now Renne's wife. Renne you are now Ren's husband. Treat her fairly or she'll beat you. Treat him nicely or he'll be staying at my palace and I don't want that, again." Everyone laughed. Whenever Ren and Renne got into argument Renne would stay in Jareth's spare bedroom. "You may now kiss the bride."
Renne turned to Ren and her to him. They were no longer siblings. They had only dreamed of this day. He placed his hand on her back and dipped her low and kissed her. When he brought her back up she hugged him. Everyone clapped and hooted.
Sarah walked to them, "Nice kiss Renne." She smiled.
He blushed, like usual. "Thanks, oh and thank you for letting us use your ball room for this ceremony."
"Oh don't even worry about it; Angelique's ball room wasn't even big enough to hold a party. We had no other option."
"If I remember correctly Sarah, you are the one who said that her ballroom was the perfect size for any ceremony." Ren said.
"Was that me? Well I don't know what you're talking about. But let's move to the second ball room and have ourselves an after party." Sarah said and left the two laughing.
When everyone assembled in the second ball room Toby pulled Sarah out into a garden.
"What's wrong Toby?" Sarah asked, sitting down on the fountain ledge.
"I'm your brother, aint I?" he asked.
"You had a dream right?"
Toby looked at her, "How did you know?"
"Angelique put a spell on you three years ago. She changed your memory so you would think you grew up here. She always watched over you in case the spell would fail. She told me that you will start to have dreams if it started to fail."
"So I am your brother?"
"You're my half brother. My father married your mother then had you."
"So I would still have to go through a ceremony to cut our ties." Toby sighed and sat down.
"So you do love my daughter." Sarah smiled.
"Yeah, I mean…yeah." He sighed again.
"Stop sighing, you're too young for that. How bout this, you need to go back and get a proper education. Even though I love this world an everyone in it, their education sucks. Go to elementary, middle and high school and then to college come back and then we will discuss you and Aelita."
"But that like fourteen years." Toby said standing and looking at her.
"Yes and she'll be 19 by then. By then she'll actually know what love is."
"Fine, when are you sending me off?"
"Tomorrow, I knew you would ask." Sarah stood and stretched her arms.
"How?"
"I can see the future." She laughed.
"I told her." Jareth said coming up to them.
"Aw, you couldn't let him think I could see the future?" Sarah asked.
"No, because then you would have to tell me when our next baby is coming."
"TMI, Jareth, TMI." Toby said and walked back into the ball room.
"It's time for the king and queen dance dear." Jareth said grabbed Sarah's hand.
"Oh darn, I was kind of hoping I could hide from this dance."
"Why don't you like it?"
Sarah looked at him, "I hate being the only one dancing."
"We are not the only one's that will be dancing." Jareth said as they came to center room. Everyone cleared the way.
"Who else is going to be dancing?" Sarah asked looking around. As the music started two more couples joined. Sarah couldn't see them because of Jareth so he bent to her ear.
"Ren and Renne, and Aelita and Toby."
She smiled. "Just as it should be."
'Even though the book for Jareth and my life is not complete, this book as come to a close. The next book in this series will be written by Aelita. When she is older and comes to understand everything there is in life. But for now she will grow up to be a beautiful princess who will be sweep off her feet by a handsome prince. Maybe not a frog prince but he will surly be a prince.'
Tell me your thoughts. The sequel wont be that long, maybe five chapters and until next time, Tootles^^
